JSA Partners
Across 9 Live Sessions

The gap between knowing banking and finance law and practising it is wider than most law students realise. Structured finance, acquisition finance, and capital markets work require a precise understanding of transaction architecture, regulatory frameworks, and documentation — knowledge that only comes from working on live deals.

This course was built to deliver exactly that — directly from the JSA partners handling these transactions every day.

Across 9 live sessions, participants work through the full spectrum of banking and finance practice at one of India's leading law firms. From the foundational framework of banking regulation to complex structured finance, acquisition finance, real estate financing, debt capital markets, and cross-border transactions — each session is taught by the JSA partner who handles that specific practice area.

This is not a survey course. It is deal-oriented, practitioner-led exposure to how banking and finance law is actually structured, documented, and advised on at the highest levels of Indian practice.
